You break that which isn't yours.
This is pretty much just a whole big rant about a bunch of crap that is and has been on my mind.
I love UB. I really do. I love being here (though at times I do wish I went to a city school) and I love the people up here. The only thing that bothers me so much at UB is this upstate/downstate ... stereotyping. Everytime I pick up the Generation, I want to scratch out the eyes of babies with all the Long Island JAP jokes. Okay, I get it - it's hysterical. But honestly, it's an old joke. For God's sake, how about we move onto Guidos? I think they're a LI topic less covered and UB has their fair share of them. So I think of that as a sort of topic Generation should tackle next - the Guidos of UB, often confused with douchebags. Separating feature? Spikey hair bowls that resemble porcupines. Oh, and a strong affliation to "Italia" for nearly no reason. Over use of "bro" and "yo, yo!". They probably own a Nextel.
I always want to cry out to the people who hate Long Island that those little emo bands you screamed your heart out to in high school/beginning of college, oh ... they're from Long Island. Cream your panties to Adam Lazzara or Jesse Lacey? Quote "You're So Last Summer" all over your AIM profile? Yep, Long Island. If that's not enough for you, about your "hardcore, post-whatever-the-fuck-you-want"? Throw your x'd fists to the likes of Long Island for your idols of Glassjaw and the Movielife. What? Head Automatica's Daryl was in Glassjaw (whose status is indetermined?) and is from LONG ISLAND!? Simply you jest, you indie fuck.
No. Shut up. I'm waiting for someone to make that point. I tell that to every single person I meet that once Long Island comes out of their mouth when I get an I'm-so-sorry-let's-not-talk-anymore kind of vibe. I like meeting new people, it makes me happy but I'm not going to let my filthy little island be the butt of jokes without me ... defending it in some way, for lack of a better term I can't think of right now.
Yes, the people (some) are filthy. The way the Island itself is set up completely disgusts me. But honestly, people in Western New York claim outsiders don't want to get to know their area. Bullshit, I laugh. You want UB students (those especially from LI) to know Buffalo culture, it's IMPOSSIBLE. UB's in the middle of a bubble in suburbia, how am I or any other outsider, going to get to know "culture"? Be it food, music, art, ANYTHING. Those who strive to know and to learn and to experience, will go out there and seek it on their own but those who are terribly ignorant (like bitches and bros), probably won't go further than the bars to get to know ANYTHING about Buffalo.
I could go on forever with that. It was barely coherent. I just start thinking and thinking about things that really make no sense, but I just wish people weren't so ... annoying. I get so irritated. I love going out and learning things about Buffalo. People are so interesting, I just wish they'd give themselves some credit sometimes and were open to that. Whatever, end.
Another thing I can't stand, boys. They frustrate me when they are and aren't present in my life. I want to poke out their eyes too, but they're so terribly cute sometimes... it makes me want to poke them in the eyes even more. It just sucks (so much) how you can't forget how they hurt you, too. All you want to do is just forget, but then it sneaks up on you little a disease. Ugh, I just don't even want to bother.
They posted the Spring 07 couse schedule and I'm basically ... screwed. I don't know, I'm praying to whatever diety that I have to for my schedule to come out alright. I'd like to take six classes and I am crossing my fingers that I'm going to be able to get into them. My International Politics (IR) classes are really limited this semester. I already nixed out two of the three ... which leaves me with one and I don't think it looks good. Let's hope I don't go hari kari infront of the political science department. I mean, I already know my classes for my other major are NEVER offered, so that ... blows. WLAjfksdf.
I may be taking three french classes next semester so that I have a full schedule. I kind of want to take the film class. I don't know.
I'm in this weird mood where I want to punch babies, cry about punching babies, make babies, and play with babies. Talk about emotional.
Babies is the word of the day.
